During 1970 and 1971, Wailer, Marley and Tosh worked with renowned reggae producers Leslie Kong and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
They released four albums before signing to Island Records in 1972. Two more albums were created before Tosh and Wailer left the band in 1974, citing grievances over label treatment and ideological differences. Marley carried on with a new line-up, including the I-Threes that put out seven more more albums. Marley died in 1981.
The Wailers were a groundbreaking ska and reggae group, noted for songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up".

We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight!
The way you love-a me, huh! It's all right!
When you put your loving arms around me,
And you hold me tight, holding me tight
This is my invitation
I got the special vacation
Just to feel your vibration
At that soul shakedown party tonight

A just-a special vacation
